# Contracts *Contracts* are the rules of the business relationship between you and a brand. Contracts are set up to provide governing rules about how partners are meant to be paid for creating business for brands. You can check your [Contracts History](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/contracts/view-partner-contract-history) to see your contract terms for all your active and expired contracts. You can retrieve a contract’s object as well as list all contract objects. You can also download an active contract and the public or custom terms of a contract in PDF format via API. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
